Drops you randomly around the world in google street view. You have to guess where you are.

Wow, I'm (not surprisingly) pretty bad at this:

Just using the sit and spin method:

Moving around to find street signs and stuff and then googling can help improve your score.

I figured Googling would be cheating, though I was awfully tempted!

At least your guys are guessing on the right continent! lol

Post up your results!

 

[Nick]

That's more fun that I thought it would be. I suck though. I tried not to look too much ... find street signs, langauge, mountain or ocean, etc. i got like 5800 points.

Yeah I think you have to avoid Googling. Sit & Spin would be the best way because I'm sure if I spent enough time futzing aroun dI could find it.

This has been my method without the googling part. I learned that Australia looks a lot like the southwest and south Africa except they drive on the other side of the street. There are some really nice beach houses in Norway. Alaska seems to come up a lot.

I used Google to cheat, and did pretty good, except for the epic fail on the last one! :lol:

I think "driving around" is part of the fun.

Not bad for sitting and spinning.

I got super lucky on one- there was a Sol beer truck in the picture, so I picked a spot in Mexico, pure guess, a click from the default map zoom, and it was 52 km away!

 

[bvibert]

I just spent way too much time "driving" around looking for clues, and ended up pinpointing the exact spot, without using google. It said I was 0.002km off. I'm so proud of myself... :lol:

Thanks for killing my productivity, wa-loaf. As if I needed a new distraction...

15173, sit and spin. The last two are definitely "difficult" without moving and take a commited guesses .

My best non-google score, but not sitting and spinning.
